Proportionality of single nucleotide causation.

Studies in history and philosophy of science - 1 Jun 2022

Oftedal Gry

Abstract excerpt

Assessing the proportionality of causal relationships help us pick out the most relevant causes of an effect. In this paper, I nuance and apply the concept of proportionality from the philosophy of causation debate to the mapping of associations between variations in single nucleotides in the DNA and complex phenotypic traits, such as cancer, bipolar disorder, and happiness. I discuss under what circumstances...
